CHINA is getting into gear with the MG marque and it looks as though there is a chance that Britain will once again see its lamented favourite sports car.
New owners NAC MG have unveiled a state-of- the-art production line while celebrating the launch of China's first international car brand which inherits all the British traditions synonymous with MG.
The MG plant in China is the largest single power assembly line in the world making the widest range of associated products ever made in one factory.
Three new Chinese built MG models were also seen for the first time.
MG will develop two bases; one in Nanjing and the other in Longbridge, Birmingham.
Nobody has said anything over when, or even if, we might see new MGs in UK showrooms, but if Longbridge is going to be involved again you don't have to be the Wizard of Oz to work out that MG will be back in some form or another before too long.
Having witnessed at first hand the Japanese car phenomenon from its early days I have to say that once China properly gets into gear it will be a case of 'watch out world'.
